Chimpanzees are smart, agile and crafty \u2013 and when they\u2019re hungry, they can be lethal, as you\u2019re about to see.

Here in Tanzania, Africa, these chimps are hunting their next meal: Monkeys!!!

But Colobus monkeys are worthy adversaries, able to stand their ground against predatory primates almost four times their size!!!

To try and outwit their pursuers, the Colobus lure the chimps higher and higher into the trees, where the smaller, lighter Colubus have an advantage \u2013 they can balance on branches the chimps would break.

This male Colobus holds his tail just barely out of the hunter chimp\u2019s reach...

Giving the ahem! \u2018women and children\u2019 time to escape.

Watching the chimps chase these Colobus is like watching the action-adventure version of a great chess match \u2013 with stakes of life and death.

Below, a female chimp follows the action. No question who she\u2019s rooting for.

This chimp is named \u201cFrodo.\u201d

He climbs and climbs and makes a daring \u2018leap of faith.\u2019

But the Colobus isn\u2019t afraid of racking up a little \u2018hang time\u2019 himself.

After all, these little guys can make huge leaps \u2013 even as high as 50 feet into the air!

Then, a wrong move \u2013 a Colobus leaps into the arms of death.

And the victors whoop it up good.

The young hunter displays his kill...

Only to have the dominant chimp confiscate his prize. I guess these chimps are like the National Football League \u2013 no showboating here, especially when the tribe is hungry.
